It's a normal 5-way switch with some more poles, ie options. I think it's like this:

its fun to see this guitar coming together. parts of other guitars
(and the entire body of a guitar!) that customers didn't want, or
something like that, come together in 1 gorgeous guitar.

Yes, I will soon call it "The Orphanage" :lol: It surely is going to be one hell of a guitar, though :-) I can't wait to have it in my hands. I'm going to Moscow to pick it up and have a week of vacation, but I'm sure I'll just want to go home, so that I can play this beauty :)

That's very good work! Thanks for the nice 24. fret inlay. I am very impressed by how the headstock "binding" appeared. I was not sure about this detail, as I haven't seen a faux binding on the headstock veneer before, but this was really stunning. All in all I am very pleased about how this turns out.

About the finish, how does the images come up to the real thing? It looks really nice.

The 5 way super-switch is still "on the way"  - as are your new Grover locking machine heads. (See 06/24 spec update - page 3 of this thread)

Hopefully, they shall arrive in a week or so!

ok....sometimes i play with those 2-points, and other times with
those trems with 6 screws...do you know what i mean?

and what i noticed is that those "6screw-trems" have the
tendency to squeek more than those 2points. is that logical?

well.....i just tried another strat with trem....with those 6 screws
over which the bridge moves, and yeah; it squeeked...

as if it was a door with rusty hinges and needed some oil. do
you get me now? :D

Well, oil it, then. ;-) I don't really see how the pivot points can squeak with the kind of pressure that's on them, but it won't be heard through the amp anyway, right?
